Philharmonie de Paris

Located in the Parc de la Villette, the Cité de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris is home to
a unique initiative that promotes music for everyone. Its activities
take place in two buildings designed by Christian de Portzamparc for the Cité de
la Musique and by Jean Nouvel for the Philharmonie. Together, they form a cultural hub
that is unique in the world. It presents concerts by the Orchestre de Paris and hosts the
most prestigious French and international orchestras.
Through its concert halls, its Museum of Music, its exhibitions, and its
Children’s Philharmonic (dedicated to 4- to 10-year-olds), the Philharmonie de Paris offers
adults, children, and families the opportunity to engage with musical works, learn about an
artistic discipline, and discover or deepen their musical knowledge.
